Professional Experience

Full-Stack Software Engineer

Portland General Electric

Aug 2024 – Present

  • Owned a machine-learning-powered crew prediction app end to end — from ambiguous requirements through UI, API, infra, and rollout — owning product, design, frontend, backend, and DevOps to ship a Vite + React app with AWS Amplify hosting, Cognito auth, and Jenkins CI/CD across multi-environment deploys.
  • Shipped a full-stack dispatcher upload tool solo — designed the UX, built the React interface, wired a Lambda signed-URL workflow to S3, and rolled it out to field teams — eliminating 70% of manual steps and saving ~30 minutes per shift.
  • Architected AWS Lambda + API Gateway services with CloudFormation and Terraform to drive Snowflake ETL pipelines refreshing millions of rows every 15 minutes.
  • Built a data-dense operations dashboard with MUI DataGrid/DatePicker components, custom SCSS theming, and AWS Location Services maps wired to Cognito identity pools for real-time crew dispatch and spatial tracking.
  • Rotate through on-call and lead incident response across frontend, API, and data layers — including recovering 1M+ deleted Snowflake rows in under two hours and authoring runbooks and postmortems so fixes stick.
  • Rolled out CloudWatch dashboards and alarms with structured logging, plus Jest unit tests and Lambda integration tests wired into Jenkins — catching regressions before production and giving on-call real-time visibility into KPIs, latency, and error budgets.
  • Partnered with compliance and architecture teams to align Terraform modules and IAM guardrails with SOX and FERC controls, providing traceable change history for audits.
  • Mentored two interns to ship an internal KPI dashboard from Snowflake and internal APIs — coaching React component architecture, UI design principles, and deployment standards.

Frontend Software Engineer (Intern)

Radical AI

Mar 2024 – Aug 2024

  • Helped build the RadicalX "ReX" AI Coach by integrating OpenAI APIs, Firebase Auth, and Next.js server components to deliver personalized coaching flows.
  • Shipped coaching UI features end to end — from Jira ticket through Next.js component to production — while establishing linting and documentation standards that the team adopted beyond my tenure.
  • Co-led UX working sessions with founders to translate open-ended chatbot briefs into wireframes.
